ABSTRACT
Periostitis is characterized by periosteal inflammation surrounding tubular bones. The pathophysiology is now considered to be multifactorial and a spectrum of disorders, recently being redefined as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS). Current treatment modalities include preventative and conservative measures, such as activity modification and footwear alterations. There is a paucity of literature for more invasive treatments, such as steroid injections. In conflict with the currently available limited literature, this study reports a case of recurrent tibial periostitis due to blunt trauma treated with steroid injections resulting in symptom resolution and no adverse events. While this case may suggest a therapeutic role for steroids in the treatment of MTSS from blunt trauma, it also highlights the need for additional studies to elucidate the safety profile and therapeutic efficacy of steroid injections.
